About the Row

Cherokee Antique Row runs along Cherokee Street between Jefferson and Lemp avenues, in south St. Louis. People here call it Antique Row, or simply Cherokee Row. Benton Park lies to the north of it, Marine Villa to the south, and the whole of it stands inside the Cherokee-Lemp Historic District.

The shops are independent, and each one is somebody’s own business rather than a branch of anything. What they carry moves with what comes in: furniture, glass and china, vintage clothing, records, books, salvaged doors and mantels. Opening hours are shorter than a shopping street’s and no two shops keep quite the same ones, so it is worth reading a shop’s own page before you make the trip for it.

How the Row came to be here

The shops on the Row belong to the Cherokee Antique Row Merchants Association, a membership of the businesses themselves, which runs the street's shared events - among them the Cherokee Caravan each Memorial Day.
